Flip Flop

Makenna is always put to sleep on her back, but when I went in to get her last Monday, this is how I found her.


She has been able to roll from her tummy to her back for awhile now but until recently had only gone from her back to her tummy a few times. Now she is a pro. She flips back forth with ease and even flip, flopped, and wiggled her away across her playmat this afternoon.

4 Month Check Up


Makenna's 4 month old check up went well. At 4 months and 11 days old she weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces and measured 23 1/2 inches long (toe nail tips to pigtail tops). Dr. Legako said she looks great and that her growth curve is "perfect". He also said she is ready to start eating cereal 1 to 2 times a day and in a couple weeks can try veggies.

1st Solid Food

Last week I gave Makenna some rice cereal for the first time. She was stoked! As soon as she saw the spoon she opened her mouth and dove for it.

4 months!!


Makenna is a third of the way through her first year! *sob* She has become a very curious little girl. She likes to be right in the middle of everything and be able to hear and see whats going on around her at all times. She has the cutest little cross -eyed look of determination as she tries to touch, feel, grab, and taste everything around her. Although this super explorer attitude has seemingly led to the demise of breastfeeding and daytime naps, it is wonderfully adorable and, overall, a good thing.
She is still a very sweet, happy girl, but she definitely has a budding little attitude starting to show. She knows what she wants and gets very frustrated if she can't obtain her goals. This can be a bit of a problem since she already seems to think she needs to do everything big sis does. I have a feeling she might end up being one of those 'walk before crawl' babies (since she already thinks she can). From jumping and laughing to crying and stomping, Makenna laughs at just about everything Kylee does. This admiration is both terribly cute and horribly terrifying. I may be up against quite the twosome in the very near future.

100 Days

On July 21, 2010 Makenna turned 100 days old. Per Korean tradition, Auntie Vickie gave her a box full of gifts. Since I hadn't been giving her gifts for her monthly "birthdays", I also gave her a few things. She got 3 outfits and a beautiful, personalized pearl bracelet from Vickie and new rattles and a few black and white toys from me.
